Pro Bush Americans that have lost relatives in the conflict will believe their loved ones gave their lives in the name of freedom. It is natural for them to be deeply concerned about their images contributing to such an effectual, anti-war statement.

Before I could answer, my seven year old son, Matthew, said...

First came dogging:Dogging is a predominantly British activity that involves outdoor exhibitionism in car-parks, wooded areas and the like. The term dogging originated in the early Seventies to describe men who spied on couples having sex outdoors. These men would 'dog' the couples' every move in an effort to watch them.

Predictably, Tony Blair dismissed it without question, preferring to remain firmly impaled on George Bush's raised forearm; content in the role of big brother's little brother. I have no sympathy with Al Qaeda's cause, mainly because I have no empathy with their culture or belief structure.

This time it's osmium tetroxide that's suspected to be the dirty bomb builders agent of choice. So, being a Brit living with the constant 'It's not if, it's when' cloud hanging overhead, I ventured forth to establish the likelihood of such an attack, and the ramifications should we ever have to endure one.

I found this whilst dipping into greenfairy's 100 things. It takes a little time but, it does make you consider your stance on issues you haven't pondered for a while, and it's interesting to see who you're likened to.

However, I have never felt entirely comfortable describing myself as an atheist or agnostic.

To cite him as a man of courage for abandoning his WMD project was, in the least, an insensitive and heinous insult to the relatives of his multiple murder victims.
